In Canada, as an adult, these things are completely illegal.
They're illegal here, too. The question at hand is whether the court is going to let the perps get away with molesting a child just because they were state employees.
WTF? A dying company gets a lifeline from a viable one, and people are objecting? If Sun dries up and blows away, how is that going to make for a more competitive marketplace?
Was build-to-order and fast delivery. They grew like crazy by being aggressive cost-cutters, and when they cut the costs to the point where their low quality started to get on their customers' nerves, their decline was a foregone conclusion.
Heh.. You're bragging about your intention to infringe on someone else's property rights, and you call that being productive? Talk about self-righteousness, you're dripping with it.
Seems like the only way that Ballmer can get any press these days is by trolling. When was the last time he had this much attention? Wasn't it when he was laughing at the iPhone?
It's not like MS sues people for running windows on non-standard hardware.
Both Apple and MS will sue you for using their products without a license to do so. Apple only offers OS X licenses for their own hardware, and they're entirely within their rights to do so. If you don't like their terms, then don't buy it.
You just made yourself look like an idiot with your implication that only one faction of the Ruling Party engages in election fraud. Do the names "Daley" or "Kennedy" ring a bell?
You simply contradicted my initial sentence without dealing with any of the arguments I made.
Too bad. Nobody's required to respond to your posts in a manner of your choosing.
brainless zingers.
You're the one who went ad hominem, sunshine. If you don't like how you get treated after you do so, that's your problem. Try to work it out in therapy.
I'm not sure McNealy still cares. He's the one who handed it over the Schwartz, after all. I'm sure he cashed out enough that he didn't hurt too much as the stock declined.

The perps should be on the sex offenders' registry for the rest of their lives.

It happens once in a while, but the public outcry needs to be overwhelming.

Hey, if the last guy wasn't thrown out for that, I don't think it's possible.
Of course it's possible. It happened to Jimmy Carter and George Bush Sr.

All the sixes move to what later becomes modern day Sweden. ...and what they called sixes, we call tens.

Also, at the very end, there were still plenty of skinjobs.
I've decided that "skinjob" is going to be my new non-PC term for an unusually attractive woman. EG: "Wow, check out that skinjob!"

If i want to take their damned OS X installation CD and put in my microwave that is my right as an AMERICAN!*
Knock yourself out. Destroying the distribution media doesn't violate the license.

I think Ubuntu or Debian are much more user-friendly and productive
You've got to be kidding.

Except we know the value of the software, Apple sells it seperately for $130, or about what an OEM edition of Vista Business adds to a typical Dell.
We can therefore conclude that installing Windows on a PC degrades its value by $370. Good to know.

You don't care what I think,
That's correct. I'm in agreement with everyone else in the world on that point.
you have to reply to everything I say.
Have to? No. Like I said above, it's like popping bubble wrap.

Interesting idea. I'll have to remember to stop and look for CDs if I pass a garage sale anytime soon.

Whatever
Oh, hey! I remember you now! You're the guy who writes the dialog for every brat on the Jerry Springer Show, aren't you?
Feel free to play again. We have some lovely parting gifts for you.

I'm pretty sure the last CD I bought was back around 2003.

your conversation is idle and pointless.
Gee, that would hurt if I had any reason to value your judgement.

Gee, I dunno, a half-dozen angry posts?
Don't flatter yourself. This is like popping bubble-wrap.

Then why are you bent out of shape by my flame?
Bent out of shape? Why would you imagine that you could ever be important enough to perturb me?
